(This is a part of Thiruvachagam, one of the greatest Tamil
devotional works composed by Saint Manikkavasagar. (www.geocities.com/profvk/WOVpage11.html)
The Tamil people say that “One who is not moved by Thiruvachagam will not be
moved by anything in this world.” This work is actually a Suprabatham for the
God of Thiruperum thurai (The present day Avudayar Koil neat Pudu kottai). It
is interesting to note that Suprabatham are completely absent in ancient
Sanskrit literature. This Thirupalliyezuchi was followed by several in Tamil by
great Vaishnavite saints and in the last centaury the first Sanskrit work,
Venkatesa Suprabatham. Even today the number of Sanskrit Suprabathams is very
few in number.)

Potthi yen vaazh mudal aagiya porule,

Pularndathu poongazharkku inai thunai malar kondu,

Yetthi nin thirumugathu yemakkarul malarum,

Ezhil nagai kondu nin thiruvadi thozhuthom,

Chethidazh kamalangal malarum than vayal choozh,

Thiruperumthurai urai Shiva perumaane,

Yethuyar kodiyudayai , yenai udayay,

Yem perman palli
ezhundarulaaye. 1

Salutations to you , who is the first meaning of my life,

The new day has broken and please grant me your smile ,

As a sign of your grace , when I salute and offer flowers at
your holy feet,

Oh God presiding over Thiruperumthurai,

Which is surrounded ponds, full of open lotus flowers,

And where your flag of the bulls flies very high,

For my sake Oh God be pleased to wake up.

Arunan Indiran disai anuginan , irul poy,

Agandrathu udayam nin malar thirumugathin,

Karunayin sooriyan yezha yezha nayana-,

Kkadimalar malaramattha yennalam kannaam,

Thiral nirai arupadam muralvana ivayor,

Thiruperumthurai urai Shiva perumane,

Arul nidhi thara varum Aananda malaye,

Alai kadale palli
ezhundarulvaye. 2

When the driver of Sun reached the east, darkness vanished,

And when the Sun goes up and above , we are able to see,

The mercy drenched in your lotus like face,

And let that eyes open like a lotus opens seeing the Sun
light,

And let our prayers sound as if the bees are singing,

And oh God presiding over Thiruperumthurai,

Who is the mountain of joy , coming to give us the treasure
of blessings,
